JD is back to his nerdy vulnerable loveable self as Ichabod
Crane. This is one of the first five or so JD films I saw back then and at the
time it confirmed my impression that he was an actor I liked.

It’s a silly film though.It can’t seem to decide if it’s a horror story, a comedy, or a parody of
both.I don’t remember having read the
original so I don’t know how faithful to it the film is but that doesn’t
matter.It’s still silly. And oddly
predictable. Scientific and rational (though nerdy) JD has to admit defeat to
the supernatural.
